  • MacBook Pro 15 "Core 2 Duo (early 2008) - El Capitan Performance

    Guys, so my computer was stolen a few days ago and I need to buy a replacement.
    Unfortunately all this has happened in the worst time for me, so I have to buy something extremely budget.

    I found a Unicorn. Pre-unibody MB Pro 15 "Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of ram and GeForce 8600 in a State absolutely perfect (with literally nine original battery) for next to nothing. (alias a want of the friend of the family to sell it to me for a hundred dollars.)
    I have a spare SSD, the plan is to use it and maybe, after a few tests, replace a chip memory 2GB 4 GB.

    But let's assume that for now he stays with 4 gigs.

    I need it mainly for use at home or in the office, I don't need a benefit 'video editing '.

    Any of you still use this kind of mac and could tell me how it behaves with El Capitan?
    Is a normal use, every day a huge pain?

    Thanks in advance,

    see you soon,

    Adam

    I run it on a late 2008 2.53 Ghz core 2 duo and it isn't bad (althouhg I have a new retina 15 "machine to come next week, but it's just because it was time to buy something new after 8 years and the 15" material current is good for me - I really worry about the next update will go to the MacBook style keyboard which is clearly less IMO to the current keyboard Pro retina).

    My end 2008 15 "has 8 GB of RAM but (OWC 4 GB SODIMM) .and I replaced the 320 GB 5400 RPM drive with an OWC 480 GB SSD drive. But even before the update level HD, the most notable decline in performance was the start. Once the system is up and running basics like Pages, Numbers, and others were very good, and I use Office 2016 and Endnote X 7 on mine as well without problem (work Office 365 uses, so I use one of my 5 installed on my Mac).  You will notice that the programs are a little slow to start, but once upward, they work fine as long as you're not too heavy on any multitasking of programs.

    But I do not think that battery will be worth squat. There is no such thing as a "brand new original" of 8-9 years lithium battery. They begin at the point where they are assembled in decomposition and generation of the lithium battery will die in 3-4 years if used or rest.  There is no way that a battery lithium 8 years and more is going to be interesting to Courland longer. OWC sell replacements well and I have used several of their Epsonexpression batteries in my end of 2008 to replace machine as my batteries have worn for the duration of my machine.

    I'd say it should be functional. OWC lists a 6 GB RAM upgrade for the machine too, and it would certainly help if you can afford it, stick an SSD in it would stimulate it too much. These two upgrades would be ~ $300 if, but if it gives you a working machine until you are ready for a current model, it might be useful.

    As an alternative, have you looked at online Apple store refurb?  They have a few refurb MacBook Air was ~ $ 800. Just a thought, if your budget allows.

  • Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook

    Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro 10.6 (Snow Leopard) running?

    Before posting my question, I checked the requirements of system/hardware for Creative Suite, as well on Internet Apple and Adobe sites. But however I'm confused about the difference between 'Processor Intel multicore' vs 'Core 2 Duo' and hearing stories CS5 works not properly in similar situations because of hardware problems.

    Hi LMDV,

    Welcome to the community!

    Intel multi-core processor, also known as the Dual core processor is required to run the CS5 or CS5.5, you have the Core 2 Duo which is better then Dual core and enough to run CS5 and CS5.5 applications. You just need to check the other requirements of system that is mentioned here:

    I have a MacBook Pro 17 withProcessor - in 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (circa 2007).  Running OS 10.7.5 (Lion).  System indicates the computer is not compatible with OS later.  Hardware can be upgraded to the latest processors and other components to make it compatible with the latest OS.  I think that later models of Macbook Pro 17-inch with processors that allow updates.  I was wondering if these can be swapped or if alternatives were available.

    Only the RAM and storage (HD, SSD) can be changed.  Everything is welded to the map logical and selected specially for the system configuration.

    I'm sorry.

    Hello! If you are using special software (Photoshop, etc.) I don't think it's a good idea to upgrade.

    However, it you use your computer for Web browsing, watching movies, editing documents, etc. and if you want to use the new features introduced in OS X Yosemite and OS X El Capitan, upgrade is a good option. Below you will find some further reading on the subject.

    I don't know about other issues. There are always 'problems' with any upgrade. You weigh against the benefits. I know that you need more RAM. At least 4 GB, maybe more if you can. Don't forget that this system is produced at a time when most of the machines have + 8 GB RAM and when Apple said 'minimum' they really mean it.  I recently inherited a MacBook that has 2 GB of RAM and the Mavericks. When I checked the memory, the use of the system was using 1.95 GB = nothing to run applications!

  • Should I buy a Macbook Pro now or wait?

    Well Hello

    Although not a technical support question, I just wanted to ask the community on my decision to come. Quick note, I work in it and have already decided on the Macbook Pro because of the needs of its use and don't need no recommendation based on form, thank you!

    So, I put aside enough money to buy the Macbook Pro I've wanted for awhile now, I need a smaller but still powerful computer. Currently I have a 17 ""notebook"made for the game and it's a monstrosity away truly mobile heavy." This is beyond powerful with 32 GB of RAM, an i & - 4870HQ, one of the fastest SSD m2 on this side of the industry and it rips a GTX 980 M with 4 GB of video memory dedicated. What I'm basically is that I really don't need another PC, I need something that is both powerful and lightweight and I can't comfortable wear everywhere where I need to.

    The next factor is the fact that I'll be moving to Indonesia in October. I need a cell phone smaller, lighter for the work that I can run a virtual machine with Windows to on it for work, whether through VirtualBox or Parallels. Believe it or not, concurrent computer virtual running independent of the OS can be very demanding! Also Apple products are a status symbol there. However, rumors, which I know that no one can confirm officially, pointing to a late summer or early fall release of the new Macbook Pro, but since WWDC is around the corner I think I'll wait and see if Apple chooses to surprise us. After that WWDC is when I will make my final decision, and that the decision is whether I should buy a Macbook Pro now or wait until the new is revealed. I love the promotion they have going now where you the beats certainly of high quality solo2 helmet and education, discount that I can use since I started back to school to get an MBA.

    Yes, sorry to be long-winded and irrelevant, once or twice but I really appreciate all the comments. I expect many many time to make this purchase. I used to dislike apple products until I realized how beautifully, they are built and the high quality of the materials and the intuitive user interface. Already, I have an iPhone 6, an Apple Watch, an iPad Pro with the pencil of the Apple and the keyboard, and even this types on a keyboard of magic. I can't replace my PC awesome game, but I need something not quite as powerful, but a lot more portable.

    TL; DR: Should I wait until the new Macbook Pro is out or take advantage of the current promotion and get a current model, and yes I am aware that the current model is more than a year.

    Yes, thoughts? And thank you for your time!

    You are the only person who can answer this question. All I can tell you is that I have a MBP 2014 and it's always great. I think you'll be happy no matter which you get.

  • Should I buy a MacBook Pro now or wait for the WWDC

    Hello

    Well, I want to buy a MacBook Pro (my first one ever). However, I have read on some sites there is a new version of the MacBook Pro this year (at WWDC).

    Now I'm totally confused. I want to use a MacBook Pro 15 "(8 Go de RAM et 552 Go SSD) to work on large data / Business Intelligence technologies and programming."

    But I don't know if I have to wait for these new features or go ahead and buy this one now. And if these new features will be most useful for what I want to do.

    Thanks in advance.

    Apple has specifically discourages discussions on these forums about what and when the new products will be introduced and what changes there may be.

    The best advice is, what your needs are and this current model meets the.  If so, buy it, if not, don't buy it.   My observation of past changes in the introduction of new models is that the changes are incremental, not radical.  My primary MBP is a 2011 model (with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD hard drive) and I still do not feel outclassed by the current culture.

    Ciao.

  • My computer is old and slow. What can I do?  I have a 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  The processor is clocked at 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo I Mac

    My I Mac computer is older than 6 years and became slower and slower.  I added the memory once in the past which has contributed to the speed.  He was clocked at 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo for a processor and memory is 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  I wonder if I it is better to buy more memory or if the computer needs to be replaced, it still works very well for email and working on small documents, but it is really slow and crashes when working with images and large files.  Any advice is welcome.

    I have a similar computer.   It will accept 6 GB of memory.   It is far from slow and Etrecheck reports he cited as excellent.   I think you have some unnecessary baggage in tow.   Why not download and do a report for us Etrecheck.   Publish it as an answer, here, and maybe we'll find the reasons...

  • Can my iMac 21.5-inch, late 2009 with Core 2 Duo deal with 16 GB of RAM?

    I think to upgrade the RAM on my Mac to 16 GB or more. My Mac will handle it well?

    In accordance with article Apple here: install memory in an iMac - Apple's Support,

    For models of iMac (late 2009), you can use 2 GB or 4 GB RAM SO-DIMM memory DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz in each slot.

    The statement gives the impression that my iMac can not handle more than 8 GB of RAM. (2x4gb). is this correct?

    Your iMac can handle a maximum of 16 GB of ram (4 x 4). A single note use quality a supplier like OWC or Crucial ram and avoid the bargain brands.
